Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is the ksrpre show for Friday, August thirtieth. I

Rutledge over in Lexington. And you can give us a

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It is kickoff Eve.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
I am excited, I'm I'm amped up, I'm ready to go.
I've got a ton of energy, maybe Billy because I
treat it myself to a pumpkin spice latte this morning.
My god, As I was driving in I was listening
to old school WWF wrestling themes. I determined on my
drive to work that the Million Dollar Man had the
best theme song of all time in wrestling.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
And I'm ready to go. Man, how are you doing?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I'm good, dude. I can hear it in your voice.
I really can.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
The day before Labor Day weekend, a little three days
off college football kicking off Kentucky obviously tonight at seven
forty five. What's not to be excited about. The only
thing is Shannon that it is a ghost town here
in the building.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Here.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Are there people in the office or did everybody get
the same memo and decide to take a four day weekend?

Speaker 5 (01:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I got here extra early this morning, just because I
woke up at like five o'clock and I was just
like pumped up.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
I was, man, I'm the pumpkin spice grind ticket, second
cup of coffee.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Man, Like, I am on like a different level this morning.
So I got here early. And when I got here
this morning, there were a few people here, but not many.
But yeah, I guess maybe people are taking a four
day weekend. But you know, Billy, tonight, I'm gonna do
something or I might do something that I haven't done
in twenty three years.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Wow, Okay, what do we got?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I'm gonna go to a high school football game, Dude,
making the trip. Bullety's Chargers playing tonight in Mount Washington,
and I'm highly considering going.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I have not been. I don't think to. I'm trying
to think if I've been to like a high school.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I don't think I've been to a high school baseball
game or football game since I was in high school.
So I just want to go back and check it
out and feel the excitement.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
So did you get an invite from somebody or are
you just going to go wander off on your on
your own what kind of what's the motivation here? Are
you just living closer to the high school now, so
you thought maybe you should support.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I mean, one would think that, you know, being a
Bullet County legend as I am, at least in my
own mind, that I would get an invite from bullies.
But no, I just you know, I'm going to go
out there and buy a ticket and just be a
normal spectator and just take it all in and watch
some high school football. Just ready for a football season
in general.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
So yeah, yeah, well there's nothing like high school football, man,
especially in person. And you can feel that energy if
you get a close game too, Man, it is it's
a special feeling.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
So twenty three years though.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Since the last time you went to a high school game,
and as long since I've been that long, since I've
been in high school, man, getting old man, the twenty
five year reunion's coming up.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
I guess they have an invited share in the dude
to come back and speak to a class.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh no, no, they did, they did, they did.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
But I'm like man like, Unfortunately I'm on the air
at that time, I can't really come and do it,
So I'm sorry. I'll have I have to give you
a pass on that one and just give you a
rain check and maybe come back at a later time.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
But we're going to course talk a lot about football.
We want to hear from you.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Are you as excited about college football season in Kentucky's
game tomorrow as I am? Eight five nine two eight
h twenty two eighty seven. We'll get to that. Of course,
we also have some more ae W speaking of wrestling
tickets to give away. We'll do that at the We'll
do that in the last segment. I've got a wrestling
trivia question that I'll I'll do. You know, I'll be
working in a little trivia. Yeah, you were making it

(03:30):
easy on people. Just call in and be lucky. I
want you to have to call in and have at
least a little bit of wrestling knowledge for your chance
to win a five pack of AEW tickets from me.
That'll be last segment today. But yesterday's show. Before we
get to the kickoff for the Cats, let's talk about
yesterday's show for just a minute, because, as is true

(03:51):
in KSR history, if.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
It can go wrong, it will go wrong.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
And the equipment decided to bug out at the worst
possible during yesterday's KSR show when Drew and Adam Luckett
were interviewing Dion Walker, a new problem with the equipment
that is, I don't think has ever happened before, just
out of nowhere. It just makes a loud noise and
we lose Dion and then you got the chaos of
Drew having to call back on the phone to try

(04:15):
to interview Dion Walker and I don't think they could
hear each other too well. At one point Drew calls
Mark Pope, Mark poop. It was just chaos yesterday on KSR.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Little Echo as Adam Lucket is sitting right next to
Drew as he's trying to host through his phone. It
was amazing and it really was possibly more entertaining than
just the Deon Walker interview itself would have been. Talk
about great timing for the equipment to give us a
problem we've never had before, right before the first football
game and right as we'll have our KSR pregame show
tomorrow before kickoff.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
But in true KSR fashion, they worked through it.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Proud of Drew because I felt like he was getting
a little heat from the family group chat while that
was all happening too, which I absolutely loved. But you
know what, we step up when the one gets tough.
I'm just a little disappointed. We weren't able to make
it out to Wild Eggs today, so we'll have to.
We're rescheduling that too, I believe November one, the Friday
before the Tennessee game, so we'll still be able to
get excited over there in Hamburg with Wild.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Egg Yeah, that's correct.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, we want to make sure we have the entire
crew together and when we do that show, it's going
to be a big show, right before Kentucky goes down
to Knoxville and beats Tennessee. Yeah, as I picked on
my pre season selections, you did text.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Me yesterday you were like, are you in studio because
we may need to have you pop on because it
is we're in disaster mode right now.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
We were in the equipment.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's the thing about live radio, man, when it goes wrong,
it can go south quick, and you got to be
able to pivot and just handle the pressure. And I
think I think Drew did a good job of that yesterday.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
That's the thing, Like, it's tough filling forty eight to
fifty minutes already, yeah, but then you work in that
your equipment may not be working, you lose your train
of thought, and it really can be maybe sometimes a
bit of a mess, but other times maybe some of
your best works. So good job by Drew and Adam yesterday.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
So Kentucky Football to night seven forty five under the
new lights, Kroger filled. Hopefully the weather's gonna hold off.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I think there.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I'm not a weather man, but I was watching the
weather this morning and it looks like there's a chance
that there could be some storms come through. So hopefully
that will be all right by the time we kick
things off tomorrow night. But we talked, you know, about
Rock vandergriff and his lack of sleep that he was
talking about in that little press conference he was doing.
He also said he's going to be very emotional out there,

(06:28):
and there's no doubt this guy. He loves the game
of football. He cares about winning almost too much. Maybe
because he says he's going to be so emotional going
out there. But is there any concern for a guy
going out there in his first start being emotionally unstable
and having an insomniac quarterback?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Is there any concern with that, Billy?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Ah, Yes, I think it would be huge concerns.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
But I'm gonna take a bit of advice from you
yesterday and not take it completely literally what he was saying.
So I don't know if he's going to be bawling
during the play, he may get a little tear before
the game starts, and I think rightly so, I mean,
this is a guy that's been a bit of a journeyman.
He's been a backup for a while now, he's going
to be starting in the SEC. I you know, you
put the work in a grind like that every single day.

(07:12):
It's your lifestyle. I'm okay with people being a little
emotional shit in a tier or two.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
It's not uncommon.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
But I mean, if you know he's having to go
over to the sideline during the game and you know,
calling his girlfriend trying to get some emotional support, it
may be a little bit different. But I'm not going
to take it so literally, But I was a little
concerned when he said the other day he doesn't sleep
the night before a game.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
That seems like when you need to get your most sleep, right.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm not saying he's gonna have
like an emotional support animal or they're on the sideline
he's gonna be so like.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Such a wreck.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
But I do think it's gonna be a lot of passing,
and especially this first couple of weeks, I think it's
gonna be a pass heavy offense that we're going to
see while Chip Trainam recovers from that broken hand injury,
he's going to be out at least a couple of weeks.
And I think it's also going to be interesting to see.
We've heard this all off season. There's going to be
packages with two quarterbacks out on the field at the

(08:04):
same time. With Gavin Wimson out there, I know he's
probably gonna be used more as a running back. But
when you have two guys out there with arms who
are quarterbacks, it really opens up the creativity for Bush
Hampden's offense. So maybe we see some creative plays called tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
During the game.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
I'd like to hope so, because I think many people
say the opposite when you have two quarterbacks and you're
trying to get him out on the field. At the
same time, if you have two quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
You have no quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
But maybe there are defined roles here. They know Brock
vandergriffs the guy, and maybe Gavin Wimson is just too
talented to keep off the field, and that's why you
have a couple of those packages. That is all going
to be a little extra stuff, maybe like the sauce
on top, the cherry on top, right, Shannon, because you know,
forget the formations, forgetting how many times you're going to
pass or run the ball.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
You have to I think you have to dominate this game.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
I think you have to make a statement that you
are ready to go because with such a tough schedule.
I know Max wants to take the stance of we'd
have to stop talking about how tough this schedule is. Well,
that's you can only play the teams in front of you,
and it is a tough road. But at the same time,
getting off to a hot start I think would go
a long way of having that must win game versus
South Carolina and then playing your toughest opponent week three,

(09:12):
So I don't think they can afford.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Slow starts this year, Shannon.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
So regardless of who's on the field, I feel like
Kentucky's going to be way more talented of a team
and they need to look like it.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
You know.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
The really what I'm hoping for are few penalties and
snapping the ball sooner in the play clock. And how
many times we said that on the show over the
last six months.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, So we.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Got me A lot of questions that we've had all
summer long are going to be answered tomorrow night. I mean,
we think we know what we got, but we don't
really know what we have in our starting quarterback. We
don't really know what we have in our new offensive coordinator.
I just hope there's not a whole lot of Dunkin
and Duncan on the offense. I mean, I understand like
you have to give, you have to take what the

(09:52):
what the defense has given you to some degree, but
Kentucky's got some big offensive weapons at receiver.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
With Dane, with barryon.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know, I just want to see some shots down
the field. I hope that we're going to see some
big plays tomorrow and not just a whole lot of
little you know, five yard passes.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
The transfer Macklin. You know, receivers had a lot of
drops last year. How is Barryon Brown matured as a
person and an athlete. I think a lot of those,
like you said, questions will be answered. But also Brad
White in this defense, man, I mean, if this is
going to be one of the best defensive units they've
had under the Stoops era, they got to go out
there and prove it. And that's not giving up twenty
eight points to Southern mess you know what I mean, Shannon,

(10:32):
Like also don't have the same debut that Dion Sanders
and Colorado had last night. I only won against North
Dakota State, but man, some like head scratching decisions there
by prime they had, Like North Kota State had like
one time out left it was first and ten, and
Deon's throwing the ball deep late.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I think he knew the.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Spread, Shannon, Maybe he's trying to cover the spread late.
A couple things that made you made you think, wow,
Colorado may not be in the best place. And I
think some of those things are viking when you watch
the very first game. So hopefully it's very opposite of
what we saw from Colorado last.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Their first win since October of last year.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
So yeah, there were there were some some head scratching
calls there, and you know the the head scratcher call
I guess for for Stoops on the depth chart. The
biggest controversy has been about punters here at Kentucky of
all positions, and Stoops clarified that a little bit yesterday
in his final press conference before the game tomorrow, basically
saying that the decision to start Wilson Barry at punter

(11:30):
basically just comes down to him being more consistent than
than the other punter.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Aiden is it?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Is it Larro's or Lauro's. How do you say his
last name?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Not sure?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Not sure.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
I'll go with what you go.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
We'll go with Larro's.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
So it just comes down to, I guess Wilson Barry
being more consistent. So, like I've been saying that, hopefully
we won't have to worry about punting too much tomorrow, especially,
but I think that came down to his decision.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
That's big.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
The big controversy though, is is punter. Yeah, it's gonna
be a big, big year for Ja Bow. I think,
you know, with Max Ducky Duffy kind of informing us
about the differences between Australian punting and what Kentucky has
gone back to in recent years. I think if they
don't have a good punting year, if they don't have
everything working with the correct kicker, whether it be Alex
Rayner or the guy who's hitting sixty yarders in practice,

(12:16):
you know, you can lose those close games. So you've
got to be good in that area of the department.
Not to mention, you probably have the best kick returner
in the country in barry On Brown. So I'm excited
man in the news we got yesterday that season tickets
are sold out, you know, mentally preparing myself for a
twelve hour shift here in this box of a studio. Dude,
Football's back man, and it felt good yesterday to have
twenty one games on the TV last That's right.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
So did you watch any games other than the Colorado
game last night? I saw a little bit of that game,
but I think the other games were blowouts.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
North Carolina Minnesota ended pretty good, with Minnesota missing a
field goal at the very end. You know, Bobby Patrino
and Arkansas dropped seventy on Arkansas pime bluff.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I'd did a little you know.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
UMass sit situation with Shannon Dude back in the day,
not being able to cover that large spread.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
We talked about yesterday.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
But Shannon, my favorite story yesterday was between two FCS teams.
I don't know if you saw this, but Steven F.
Austin in North American University saw that. I saw that
final score. It was seventy to zero at halftime, and
I didn't know this was a rule. But because it
was such a blowout, they played the third and fourth
quarter with only five minute quarters. Oh wait what Yeah,

(13:28):
they change the time on the clock because it was
such a blowout.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Must be an FCS rule because I don't know if
you'll see that in D one.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
No, I've never heard of that before.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Well they got run ruled in college football. Shit, I
had never seen that.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
So if you're the other team and you're getting beat
seventy nothing at halftime, do you want that mercy?

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Though?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm like, you know what, I would rather you beat US.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
One hundred and forty to nothing and play under normal rules,
then give me, you know, a five minute quarter just
so we can get the game over.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
So you're Nick Saban you're you know, learn lessons in
a loss. Here's what they teach your kids.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
If I'm going to lose. I'm a hard headed loser.
First of all, I'm a sore loser. I hate losing
in anything. But if it's obvious you're going to lose,
don't give me any sympathy and just you know, change
the rules mid game, which, by the way, the final
was seventy seven to nothing, so it shows you that
Steven F. Austin, I mean, what did they did they

(14:23):
even like put it? Did they put eleven players on
the field for the rest.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Of the game or I don't know. I mean they
maybe just took a couple of knees.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
They saw that they did shorten the clock, and they
didn't really care anymore.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
I'm kind of like, wrap it up, like these kids
are getting abused at that point seventy and.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Half, Well, how about you don't schedule a team if
you can't hang any better than that. I mean, that's
that's pedifl like, did you what did you think was
gonna happen? Did you think you were gonna hang with
those guys?

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Because you didn't, I don't know, and I don't think
they're you know, at two FCS schools are paying each
other to play, kind of like you see Division I
schools like that to fund their athletic departments. But talk
about embarrassing start, it could not be a worst start
for any football team that I think you're worth. American
University out of Texas, Shannon, Uh, you learn something new
every day and I learned yesterday that was an actual school.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Do you just cancel the season from you might different
for the rest of the season from that, Like mentally,
it can only get better from here, I would think
if you're in that situation. But you know what college
football is back football season in general, high school football,
NFL kicks off what next week, yep, exciting time of
the year, and we want to take your calls. We
want to hear your excitement. To eighth twenty two eighty seven.

(15:28):
That's the Clark's Pumping Shot phone line, and we'll talk
all about college football and a whole.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Lot more coming up next year on the ksrpre Show.

eve here in the Bluegrass.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Give us a call. Eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Little quick update on Ryan LeMond yesterday, Billy I talked
to Ryan.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
He says he's feeling better.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
He says he's about seventy five percent, so he's he's
getting there.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
He's improving.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
But hopefully he'll be back with us and ready to go.
I'm hoping for tomorrow's pre show pregame show.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
We've been getting updates through yoga girl helping him out,
and she said that he's chomping at the bit to
get back to work, and I'm like, take some time off, Ryan.
I know you're going through a lot right now. It
is football season. I know you're excited to get back,
but you know, take the all the time you need
so you can come back one hundred percent because we
need you, buddy. So I'm glad you got to talk
to him, Shannon, that's good to hear that he's doing
much better.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
No?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Go ahead?

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Oh, I was just gonna ask.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
I got to figure out what the spread is on
that Western Kentucky Alabama game, Shannon, I mean Kaylin divorce
first loss as Alabama's head coach is going to be
coming week one versus the Toppers.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I believe the spread is like ninety four and a half. No,
it's this.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Saint Stephen F. Austin and North American. I'll take the
I'll take the tops. If that's the case, though.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, I've learned my lesson about picking against big spreads
like that.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, well without any research. I think he went into
that just looking at I mean.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
How could a team not score a point? Like, how
are you that bad at football? You can't even score
a single point?

Speaker 3 (17:52):
All right, Well there's some mismatches out there, there's no doubt, all.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Right, So listen, I just told you that first.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I spent the entire first segment telling you about how
excited I am for Kentucky football and college football. And
I wanted people to call in and tell me how
excited you are about the game tomorrow. And I don't
have a single phone caller right now, Like, so should
we just talk about, like what's your favorite color? Because
that drives phone calls? We have said this over and

(18:18):
over and over, Billy. I mean, we're what twenty four
forty eight hours or less than forty eight hours away
thirty I don't know however many hours away.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
From football season? Not that many and not one caller?

Speaker 2 (18:31):
So like, should we just start talking about random stuff
to get phone calls?

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Is that what we got to do on the show?

Speaker 4 (18:36):
I feel like that's what this show does is we
go random topics and we get the callers, but not
everybody's had two cups of pumpkin spice coffee this morning. Dude,
I think that you're operating on a different level this
early in the morning. Wake up people, Come on. I
did see last night when Minnesota missed the game winning
field goal to lose to North Carolina, they still set
off fireworks in the stadium.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
That is completely That's a tough look, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
I mean, look, first of all, fireworks are not cheap, okay,
so like that, that's a lot of money you're pouring
into when you're setting off the fireworks. If you lose
the game, why don't you hang on to them maybe
for next week and see if you can't do it
a little bit better, like win the game then set
off fireworks. You don't ever set off fireworks when you lose.
That is embarrassing.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
And who sees the field goal miss and then still
hits the button right because somebody's got to hit that
button and go through with it.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
But person's fired.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
You had one job, dude, hit the button for fireworks,
and you don't you hit it when they lose?

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Well, the Reds.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
They do fireworks nights all the time, and they can't
win all those games, Shannon, So they've got to still
go through with them even after a.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Long It was a good night for SEC schools. I
mean we mentioned earlier Arkansas seventy to nothing, and then
Missouri beats Murray State fifty one to nothing last.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Night, So good start for the SEC.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, I'm glad the Cats aren't playing Missouri this year. Yeah, honestly,
I mean they may be able to repeat and make
the College Football Playoff. Actually bet them as one of
my teams to make the College Football Playoff on draft
this year.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Just because their schedule is so damn easy, Shannon.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
So I don't know.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
I hate Eli Drinkowitz. We've talked, We've talked about him
again in the past, but they had a good showing
last night. And look at the SEC not allowing a
point yesterday.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Eight five nine to eight h twenty two eighty seven.
So the phone lines are opening up now. We got
some callers coming in well Lake up after they screamed
at him. We'll get to the phones in just a minute.
We talked though about this probably about a month ago, Billy,
but it's now official. The SEC will mandate injury reports
and they must be submitted three days before each football game.
In addition, there will be daily updates up until an

(20:37):
hour and a half before each game, and according to
the SEC, penalties were inaccurate or late reports will range
from twenty five thousand dollars all the way up to
one hundred thousand dollars for football, and anywhere between fifteen
thousand and twenty five thousand for basketball and baseball for
inaccurate injury reports.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Do you like that?

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yes, this has been a long time coming. Bravo to
the SEE for finally going through with this. There's just
too much money at stake with gambling, Shannon, I think.
I mean these huge television contracts, these huge gambling deals
where people are relying on this injury information.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
You know I would.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
I will still say credit to Mark Stoops for not
sharing it when he didn't have to. I don't know
what the advantage was in the past for him to
reveal those things. But now we're gonna get some consistency
across the across the board. And you mentioned basketball in
this as well. It's not just going to be football.
I believe that this standard is going to be applied
for no more cows.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
I haven't seen him.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah you can't. You can't do that anymore.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Do that in Arkansas now, even after we sat through
it for fifteen years, I haven't seen him.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
All right, I think this is a great change.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Let's get at chan. Let's get a call on real
quick before the break. Garrett.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (21:45):
Garrett?

Speaker 5 (21:46):
What's up? Guys?

Speaker 7 (21:47):
I heard you all didn't have any callers, so I thought.

Speaker 6 (21:48):
I'd call in.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Well, come on, let's go, sir. Got about thirty seconds.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
All right.

Speaker 7 (21:52):
Well, I tell you what, I'm really excited about the
football season. I can't wait for Brock. I think we've
got some super weapons. Is by far the best team
that I think Stoops has ever had. And uh, just
those explosive plays. Man, That's all we need is that
one explosive play. And I think it's over almost almost
every game. You find those guys, you find the right
guys to pass too, and there it is.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I agree with you, and I appreciate it. I think
the offensive line is gonna be kicked key though, Billy.
I mean, you gotta keep Brock upright, you gotta keep them,
especially these first couple of weeks healthy, and it's all
gonna rely on the offensive line, which hopefully is gonna
have a good season this year.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
They're gonna need them.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
We'll take more of your phone calls. Coming up next
here on the KSR pre Show. It is the KSR
Pre Show. Eight five nine two eight oh twenty two
eighty seven. We're gonna go to the phone lines in
just a minute. But we've been talking lopside at college
football scores. We had a fifty one point game last night,
a seventy point game, and then a seventy seven point

(22:50):
win last night too. Uh. But Corey friend of the show,
Corey Price writes in it says the most lopsided first
half in Kentucky football history was November eighteenth, nineteen fifty,
when Kentucky led North Dakota fifty six to nothing at
halftime and then.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Went on to when eighty three to nothing.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Okay, so they didn't stop, right, They kept pouring it on.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
No shortening the quarters there back in nineteen fifty.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
That was when when football was football, that's right. No
rough in the pastation trophies and cutting the quarters down
to five minute quarters.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
They would have laughed it. They would have laughed at
that back then.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Billy, Yeah, we'll be pulling flags in twenty years, don't
you worry, Shannon? Yeah, you know, today is a special day,
not just because we're on the eve of college football
in Kentucky, but I believe today was the day that
Kentucky men's basketball held open tryouts.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Oh so if you were somebody that.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Had some eligibility and did go try out for the team,
I don't know, Shannon, Maybe somebody really showed out today
and made the team. Maybe a little bit of a
pipe dream, But today I believe was the day that
that happened.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Did you see Pope hanging out in Djokovic's box seat
to the US So.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
He's doing what's he doing at the US Open?

Speaker 1 (23:58):
You just take a little break, man. He's been working hard.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Know, he's been recruiting, he's been practicing all summer Long's
taking you a little bit of time to decompress go
to the US Open?

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, I saw he was a couple places.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
He did a speaking engagement with Louisville's head coach Pat
Kelsey as well, and they took a.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Picture together side by side. Yeah, I don't like that,
man like. As I said yesterday on KSR, let's be real.
I love Mark Pope, but we got a couple of
dorks as our coaches.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Them taking a picture together.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
No, man like.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Okay, like they can they can like each other behind
the scenes, but I want to see publicly those two
having a dork fight. That's what I need to see.
It's Kentucky, it's Louisville at your biggest rival. You hate
each other. I don't want them breaking bread and taking
pictures together.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Oh yeah, well it did look like Mark Pope could
have eaten Pat Kelsey like he was just a word.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Not a word is eating?

Speaker 5 (24:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
If it's eating, I'll go with eight eighten is not.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
How do you ever get on the radio saying words
like eighting eating?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Well, I mean, I'm only on an hour a day,
so if you would have given me two more hours,
what it would be.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
But the point still stands.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yes, Tubby Smith, by the way, he had some words
for Mark Pope and the fan base, telling Pope stay
of the course. You know he was talking about when
when Tubby took over for Rick. You know, he walked
into a great situation where he had a team full
of NBA players. Then you look at Mark Pope, the
complete opposite.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
He walked in.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
He had to build the team from the ground up,
build the coaching staff from the ground up. So his
message to fans was just be patient. He thinks that,
you know, Pope is the guy for the job, but
you're gonna have to have a little patience. And that's
a lot to ask for Kentucky basketball fans because we're
kind of spoiled.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, in the grand
scheme of things, if Mark Pope was to not make
a Final four in his first four years, do you
feel like the patients would be wearing thin at that point?

Speaker 1 (25:45):
It depends. That's a little agree Well, I mean that's
a loaded question.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
I think it depends, like, you know, if he's knocking
on the door, like let's say he went to the
Elite eight one year round to thirty two the next,
Sweet sixteen the other you know, then it's a little different.
But if you go four seasons of him like getting
knocked out in the first round, it's going to be
right back to where we were with Caliperry, So there
is pressure. You know, he hasn't won an NCAA tournament

(26:09):
game yet, but he hasn't been the coach of Kentucky
until now too, so it's a little bit different. But yeah,
it depends on the situation. If he's knocking on the
door to Final four and doesn't get there in four years,
there's gonna be some grace.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
If not, it's going to be a different situation.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
And that goes back to the parallel between Pat Kelsey
and Mark Pope that standards are so low right now
at Louisville because of Kenny Payne, but we can't know
wei Kelsey could just make one tournament and he'd be
considered success. Mark Pope's going to make a Sweet sixteen
before Kentucky fans, I think are happy.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Right, Like, we can't lower ourselves to that stand out
worse to do that. We're Kentucky Basketball. We can't become
you know, one of those schools that says, well, we're
going to lower our expectations. And I don't think Mark
Pope wants fans to lower expectations. You know, He's even
said that, like don't you know, like if if you
don't like what I'm doing and you don't like the results,
let me hear it. Like he you know, he doesn't

(26:58):
seem like he's going to be one of those coh
is that's going to run away from negativity if you know,
that comes up at any point in the season.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
And I think we've heard that through his recruiting pitch
saying that this is Kentucky and you have to embrace
those expectations, and the fans support being there constantly, no
matter win or loss. So it's exciting, excited for that.
But we've got to get through a few football games
before we start to see those guys on the court.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
All Right, we got some callers, so let's go to
the phone lines. Let's talk to the president of the
miniature artwork display at the Kentucky State Fair.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Nancy is on the line. Let's up Nancy to know
where you're going.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
Oh, you're too funny, Shannon, And you're just too funny. Okay,
So I'm not going to talk about miniatures today. I'm
very excited about the game tomorrow. I am going and
I didn't go at all last year, but so I'm
looking forward to the game. Hope it doesn't rain, but
I have to make a comment how tall is Pat Kelsey?
Because when they were at that luncheon together, it's like
Mark Pope is huge. In Pat Kelsey, I don't know

(27:53):
how tal he is. I've had to google that, but
but maybe.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
You all would know.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
So, yeah, got the answer there, But like, oh, I
googled it, but it's not coming up.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
We're gonna find it here.

Speaker 8 (28:04):
Maybe he doesn't want to say. Maybe he doesn't want
to say how tall.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
It probably doesn't. Mark Pope is big. Mark Pope's like
what six ' ten or something like that?

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Or did I just inflate Mark Pope?

Speaker 5 (28:14):
No?

Speaker 8 (28:14):
I think that sounds about right. I think that sounds right.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
So anybody's gonna look small next to a guy who's
six foot.

Speaker 8 (28:21):
But yeah, okay, well you all have a great day
and go cat.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
All right, go cats.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Thank you, Nancy. We appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
I think that maybe that's something that's not googleable Pat
Kelsey's height.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Okay, come on, Corey Price, please help us out. If
you are listening.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Well, here's the thing, like, yeah, I can't find If
you put in Mark pope height in Google, you get
the answer.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Oh here it is five to nine, So he's a
he's a full foot. I mean I'm ten, I know,
I mean I am.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
I'm like five ten, five eleven on a good day. Right,
So yeah, just striking versus Mark Pope?

Speaker 5 (28:56):
Right?

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Who is who is up there in height?

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Let's go to Scott? What's up Scott?

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Forty guys, we're looking forward to the Model's game. I
think we're going to get two special teams touchdowns too
and uh two O and uh. I also think uh
by half I will have a twenty one point leaving
uh and and and a season we're going ten to two.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Love the opption, Love the optimism we have. We've heard
we've heard nine from a few people. I don't think
we've heard ten for many though.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Uh. I think they're all lost as this. Yes, Georgia
and Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Okay, all right, I would take that go ahead.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
Quick question, Did you think the college level will adopt
the do NFL kickoff?

Speaker 1 (29:41):
That's a good question. I hope not.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
I mean, look, I want, I want the players to
be safe, but I don't like this new NFL.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
It's weird.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
It takes a surprise off the on side kick. You know,
now you got to come hey, we're going to do this.
Come on, you know, let's put flags back. I'm going
to do that.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, all right, man, I appreciate the call. Thank you,
thank you. I hope that they don't adopt that rule
in college.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Well, let's see how it goes this first year.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
I mean, they used it and that was it the
XFL and all those other secondary leagues, and it seemed
to work out that that plays used more. People just
weren't running kicksback shin and it was just a wasted
time and wasted play. So let's let's see the first
season with it. But uh, you know, it does look
really weird, doesn't it. I Mean you look at you
think of like a Super Bowl start with all the
cameras flashing, everybody running up as they kicked the ball.

(30:32):
Now guys like forty yards down the field standing there.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
So what do you think about his prediction of two
special teams touchdowns tomorrow. I don't think that Southern Miss
is going to kick the ball to Barrian Brown, So
I would go under just for that very reason. If
they kicked off to Barrion Brown every time. Okay, I'm
with you, but I don't think they're going to kick
it in his direction.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Yeah, didn't the Southern miss coach just say that was
the best player he's ever coached against. And he's coached
against Tyreek Hills. So I think they've got maybe a
little bit of a game plan against him, and I
would be inclined to take the under as well, But
a twenty one point lead at halftime would go a
long way to cover in that big spread that Kentucky's
got too.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
While we're mentioning NFL rules before we go back to
the phones, I want to I got a fair or
foul for you on this one, Billy. The NFL has
decided against using the electric eye measuring system to mark
first downs. So we have the technology now to be
able to use that electric guide to see exactly where
the ball is to measure first downs. So they've opted

(31:27):
to not do that this year. They're going to continue
to march the chain gang out with their the chain gang,
with their sticks and their chain to do it old school.
Do you like not incorporating new technology? It seems like,
you know, every other sport is quick to do that.
Baseball is doing it now with their automated balls and
strike system. Do you like keeping a little bit of
the tradition with the chain gang and measuring first downs.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
For now, I'd like to see this implemented at a
lower level and work out some of the kinks. You know, Shannon,
when we moved into these new studios at iHeartRadio, the
first few months, like everything was breaking. Yeah, didn't know
how to work the equipment.

Speaker 7 (32:01):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
I think it cost us in a lot of ways.
And so you don't want that happening in the NFL
in the first few weeks. You don't want everybody trying
to figure that out altogether. So maybe go put it
back in the XFL or one of those lower leagues
see if it works out, kind of like Major League
Baseball doing automated balls and strikes in the minors before
bringing up to the majors.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
I think we all want.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
The laser line for the accuracy, but what would be
worse is that we transition to that and it's not ready.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Part of me, like, I don't love like marching the
guys out there with the little sticks, but it kind
of it kind of builds like a little bit of anticipation, though,
does it not, You know, like if it's if it's four,
then one, and we.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Had to decide, you know, is it a first got
to measure.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
It and they all they all stand around and there's
those guys jog out there.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, like, what's it gonna look like when we have
like an automatic automatic system to where it's like, okay,
immediately first down versus the anticipation of bringing the guys
out there you got to pull the chain to see
if it's a first down to it kind of builds
to a little bit of the excitement of the game.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Yeah, work out the kinks. I'd like to see it
like a tennis review. Have you seen that, Shannon, when
somebody calls for a tennis review and they show the
camera and then it kind of like it pans and
it's a dramatic and you're gonna see if the shadow
of the balls on the line.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
I need the drama, That's what I'm saying. I need that.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
So if we're gonna do this new technology, new electric
eye measuring system, I need to keep that drama of
seeing whether or not it's a first down.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
It does seem a little antiquated with those old men
with their chains though, that is dead on.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
When he rans, I've.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Always wanted to like, how do we know, those guys
are running in a straight line, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Like they're not even getting paid full time for this.
They're probably getting like two hundred bucks on a free meal,
like when they're probably one of the most important people out.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Like one of what if one of the guys like
you know, his cock eyde or something, and he runs
a little crooked he runs a little crooked out on
the field and all it takes is like a half
of an inch to be the difference in a game.
We're relying on that guy to run a straight line
to get out there with the chain.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
Well, in the NFL, we'll weed them out. I think
we're gonna get the best of the best before chain
gang guys. But you know, as you go to a
high school football game tonight, I mean those are parents,
you know. That's like Ryan LeMond on the sideline out
there helping out. So maybe you could see a little, yeah,
you know, Rosie running down the side of the field
up market.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
You don't think there's any like biasness in that parents
out there running the chains.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Of course, of course there is.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Let's go to the phones and talk to Adam. What's
up at them?

Speaker 6 (34:25):
Hey, what's up, guys, thanks for taking my call. Ye
have a comment and recommendation. I'm super excited about the
football season, but comments and I make this yearly is
please Kentucky Athletics and UK football. No boring video montage
of one state, one commonwealth. Here's some videos of bourbon

(34:49):
and horse farms. Here's my recommendation and it doesn't have
to be overthought. Three minute video clip. Tom Leech calls
you know the best of UK understood. You end it
with him screaming victory. Kentucky lights go out. You play
the Patty Loveless clip when she says, never leave Harlan alive.

(35:09):
Cue the new lights show in the grove Street, take
the field, go big Blue man.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
You've put a lot of thought into that. Thanks for
the phone call. I'm gonna make that our whiskey thief
call of the day. Go by whiskey thief to Stelling company,
steal a taste of uncut, unfilter whiskey straight from the barrel,
and book a toward whiskey thief dot com. He's put
a lot of thought into that. He's got it planned
out like what we're gonna do minute by minute for
the presentation, which is a big thing. Man, When you
go to a game, A big part of keeping the

(35:34):
vibe going and keeping the crowd energetic and into the
game is the presentation and what goes on in the
downtime during timeouts.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
Yeah, and with those new lights, they've got a big
opportunity for that intro to be really cool.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
So I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
I don't want to hear a sped up version of
Bitter Sweet Symphony. Maybe that's just the basketball team that
always plays that at RUP. And I'm not sure how
many of these eighteen to twenty one year olds know
the Let's all go down to Doom his Walker song
either that plays after a big win, Shannon. That seems
a little old too, But you.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Know what I mean, do they know you'll never leave
Harlan alive?

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Do they know?

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Maybe it's it's got a you know, some history, so
maybe And at this point, Grove Street Party is kind
of old, right, that's probably classic rock.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
That's probably classic rock to these players.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Come on, you're making go to make me feel old?
This classic hip hop? Yeah, all right, Bobby and Daytona,
hang on, we're gonna get to you. And actually, you

away that's happening at Ropparina September eleventh, Right, bills, if
you want to go to the show, here's the thing.

one question. So there's a good chance that the first
person who I pick up on is going to get

(37:01):
the answer correct and the rest of you are just
not gonna win tickets. But that's going to stop you
from googling. Hopefully, that's the thought here. So eight five

(37:26):
I've got the phone lines packed, and to keep this fair,
I'm just going to answer the calls and the order
they were received. Now full disclosure. There's a good chance
that the first person that answers is going to get
this question because it's not a tough question, Billy, but
it is a two parter. All right, you got to
get both parts of the question correct in order to
win a five pack of AEW tickets.

Speaker 3 (37:45):

Here we go, Hey, Matthew, the question is this, and
you got five seconds no googling. If you don't get

Speaker 2 (40:25):
We've been talking about the Kentucky nil Beer have you
seen this. I mean they've been doing this in the past,
I think couple of seasons. But the new Kentucky bud
Light beer, that's a sharp looking label they've got there with.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Yeah have you seen that?

Speaker 6 (40:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, I have.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
So we got like, yeah, we got we got competing beers,
twenty six teams.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
I got a specific launch through bud Light.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
So it's one of those things where Okay, do I
drink the nil beer? Do I drink the bud Light
beer with with the UK logo on it? I think
the nil beer is your best bet if you want
to try to you know, chip in and help and
and provide money for future players.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
Yeah, the uh I think I've heard the nil beer
be described as like a fancier bud Light. So if
you are a fan of bud Light, why not just
upgrade and then be able to sport the team at
the same time. But I'll be drinking Country Boy.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
There you go, Country and Shannon the dudes brew right specifically,
that's right, there you go go.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
I saw you posting about it. Yeah, I guess they
got it at Country Boy, right.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
So yeah, by the way, any place out there, if
you got like a local bar restaurant that you would
like to carry, Shannon the dudes brew let them know
and if we get it out on a few more taps,
then we can have production up and ready to go
for cans, which means we can have it out at
like liquor stores like your liquor.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Barns, your Total Wine and more those type of places.
